SHILLONG: The Urban Affairs department is targetting to complete the construction of around 400 units in the Nongmynsong housing project within this month.
Sources informed that out of total 600 units, around 100 units, which were inaugurated long time back, had been handed over to beneficiaries.
Initially, Hindustan Prefab Limited (HPL) was assigned the work of implementing the project but later the firm abandoned the project.
After the termination of the contract with the HPL, Meghalaya Urban Development Authority (MUDA) was given the responsibility of completing the construction of the abandoned housing project under JNNURM in Nongmynsong on its own.
